The problem with referendums is you can't have just one.
The losers will always want another referendum, and they will always be able to point out problems with the previous one and/or argue that significant things have changed since it was held. The results of the previous referendum will never seem legitimate unless it was passed by an overwhelming majority of voters.
Just don't have referendums. They open a wound that will never heal.
